Must Listen

When checked, the audio must play through the end in order for the respondent to continue to the next question. The button will not be clickable until the audio is over.
When unchecked, the respondent may skip the audio and continue to the next question at any point.

Tip: When forcing respondents to listen to the entire audio track, we recommend disabling seeking so respondents can't jump to the end of the audio track using the slider.

Allow Seek

When checked, respondents can jump to different points in the audio with the slider.
When unchecked, respondents cannot jump to different points in the audio with the slider.

Allow Pause

When checked, the audio can be paused.
When unchecked, pausing is not available.

Allow Replay

When checked, the respondent can replay the audio clip.
When unchecked, replaying is not available.

Auto-Start

When checked, the audio clip will automatically play for the respondent.
When unchecked, the respondent must click the play button to play the audio clip.

Auto-Start only works for Desktop. Mobile users must press Play.

Auto-Advance

When checked, the respondent is automatically advanced to the next page when the audio is finished playing.
When unchecked, the respondent will be required to click continue/finish to advance to the next page.
